Right of Way Acquisition TIP #3: Complexities of Relocations for Projects with Federal Funding Participation

Wherever a transportation project is anticipated to acquire real-property rights for federally funded or federal-assisted programs or projects, it’s mandatory that proper relocation planning, advisory, and coordination preparations are performed consistent with federal regulations CFR title 49 part 24.205. At the early stages of project development, and where appropriate, any action by an Agency causing displacement should be scope according to the complexity and nature of the activity and bring forth resources needed to carry out timely and orderly relocation services.

Relocation planning shall be done in such a manner that recognizes the problems associated with the displacement of individuals, families, businesses, farms, and non-profit organizations. It shall develop solutions to minimize the adverse impacts of displacement.
